Australian Shareholders Association Webinar
Nicole Kidd and Simon Davies recently presented to Australian Shareholders Association members on the role of real estate private credit...
Australia is undergoing a macroeconomic shift which is creating a significant opportunity for real estate investing in light of the attractive fundamentals which underpin the sector.
Media outlets are regularly reporting on the acute housing supply shortage and the persistence of higher rents amidst record low vacancy rates. Very high levels of overseas migration and the return of international students to Australia is proving to be a double-edged sword, driving growth in an otherwise anemic economic environment on the one hand, but exacerbating the housing shortage on the other hand. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has warned that Australia could be facing a shortfall of 175,000 homes in the next five years.
How can businesses like Corval Avenue contribute positively to this challenge?
We are working together with borrowers who are developers of land subdivisions, medium density townhouses and apartment complexes, to increase the supply of product in priority growth corridors and areas where there is a supply/demand imbalance.
Corval Avenue provides loans to assist in the development of properties, or investment in completed product for on-sale or rent – all with the ultimate goal of addressing the housing supply shortage and housing affordability.
As part of our investment process we thoroughly investigate the viability of projects and the likelihood of market acceptance of the end product. Is it suitable for the location and target demographic? Are there sufficient local services and infrastructure to attract people to live in the area? Are the homes priced sensibly for the offering? Ultimately we are looking for compelling development opportunities that will meet a structural demand, and supporting competent developers in achieving that outcome. Then we ensure we are pricing the loan appropriately for the risk being taken.
As an investor in commercial real estate with Corval Avenue, you’ll benefit from the knowledge of investment professionals who have years of experience, strong relationships with repeat borrowers and who can accurately assess opportunities. Our 25-year track record of managing Australian real estate loans through multiple economic cycles is part of the reason why Corval Avenue can be a trusted partner supporting you in real estate investing.
